Another Independent Journalist Arrested and Awaiting Trial in Cuba
HAVANA TIMES – Last Sunday June 28th, my friend and Diario de Cuba colleague, independent journalist Jorge Enrique Rodriguez Camejo, was arrested. The reasons for his arrest remain unclear. The worst thing is that along with the report of his imprisonment, his family have also announced that he is “awaiting a trial that will take place on Tuesday July 7th,” his brother Leonel Rodriguez told Diario de Cuba.

According to the article, “his relatives are unaware” of the reason why Rodriguez Camejo was arrested, and his brother “hasn’t been able to get in touch with the reporter in order to find out details about his arrest.”

“There are many different versions” (of the arrest), Rodriguez explained. “One reason was that it was “contempt of court, another one was that he was supporting protests over the death of young Hansel Ernesto Hernandez at the hands of the National Revolutionary Police (PNR), the other one is that he was recording a video.” After doing a little digging, the only thing I could find was that the journalist has been transferred to a criminal prosecution center known as “El Vivac”, in Havana.

Jorge Enrique Rodriguez Camejo is a journalist for Diario de Cuba, a correspondent for ABC news, and he has also collaborated with other independent digital platforms. Last April, he was interrogated by State Security agents, whom he said had accused him of “spreading fake news” and he was told that “a file had been opened on him” because of this
